Sensor development kits accelerate Internet of Things system design

Silicon Labs (Austin, TX) introduced two development kits to accelerate the design of environmental and biometric sensing applications for a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) products. Target applications for the kits include home security systems, smart thermostats, smoke detectors, weather stations, smart watches, fitness bands, heart-rate earphones, and other wearable products. Features include:

• An EFM32 Zero Gecko microcontroller (MCU) starter kit with a sensor expansion board.
• A gesture-controlled weather station application that tracks RH, temperature, and UV index.
• The BIOMETRIC-EXP-EVB expansion card featuring Silicon Labs’ Si114x optical sensors and Si701x/2x humidity and temperature sensors.
